Why do scientists not consider plants to be fungi?
Plants are made out of cells with cell walls constructed of cellulose, the fiberous pieces in plants. Fungi, in contrast, have cells walls constructed of chitin. Fungi are also heterotrophs, obtaining nutrients from other living organisms. Plants are autotrophs, creating nutrients from photosynthesis. Fungi don't have leaves. Plants do. In general, fungi are fundamentally different than plants. For that reason, scientists categorize them differently.
Why do fungi not belong to plants?
They are not producers and lack chlorophyll. They can not make their own food, though nether can some parasitic plants. Fungi have different cell walls than plants. Plants use cellulose to construct cells walls while fungi use chitin.
Which two groups are closely related evolutionarily plants and animals plants and fungi fungi and animals?
fungi & animals
What do fungi have in common with plants?
Fungi are not plants.
What are the results of meiosis in plants and fungi?
The results of meiosis in plants and fungi is the formation of genes

What phylum is a mushroom?
Fungi. Closer to animals than to plants actually.
What is one similarity between fungi and plants?
Fungi and plants are multicellular.
What two plants have no true stem or roots or leaves?
"Fungus And mosses dont have true leaves, stems or roots." Fungi aren't plants... they are fungi. More closely related to animals than plants.
What do fungi have common with plants?
Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. They do share some similarity to plants, though. For example, plants and fungi are both able to synthesize the amino acid lysine (animals are not); however, fungi use the AAA pathway, and plants use the DAP pathway. Plants and fungi have cells walls. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, while fungal cell walls are made of chitin.
How are Fungi similar than plants?
they both grow from the ground....... please finish this answer if you can!!!!!

Are plants and fungi the same?
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
How do fungi differ from plants?
Fungi lack chloroplasts, which means they are unable to undergo photosynthesis as plants are. This means that while plants are typically autotrophs (producers), fungi are heterotrophs (consumers). Fungi have a cell wall of chitin instead of the cellulose that plants make. Fungi store energy as glycogen; plants store energy as starch. Fungi have a single, posteriorly oriented flagellum while plants have multiple flagella that are anteriorly oriented.
